but the other things are negative examples that we have to deal with and we have to be acting i think in a very positive way according to what you've been talking about. also, when president obama acted in 2009 and 2010 to turn around our economy, since then since that happened, the house has basically done nothing significant to revive our economy. as a result, the fed has really led the efforts to help get our economy back on track. however, we have nearly exhausted all the fed's tools to nurture our economy back to health. congress needs to step up to the plate. clearly, our actions back in 2009 and 2010 turned things around. but more needs to be done. more needs to be done effectively and strongly. we can't allow the european austerity model and allow growth just tonight to fail and have it fail on us. the american jobs act is a prime example unfortunately of stalled legislation in the house that would inject nearly $450 billion worth of tax cuts, jobs, business opportunities, all of those things into our economy very, very positive and very, very strong if it were put into place.
